Some iPhone 4 owners have reported that holding the phone low and with your hand wrapped around the bottom half of the phone has deadened or canceled their wireless/3G reception. Many people hold their phone in such a fashion. If you've got a new iPhone and you've noticed your reception seems pretty awful you can either change the way you hold the phone—easier said than done!—or you can take a simple and cheap bracelet and stretch it around your iPhone as a lightweight "case" to resolve your reception issues.

The bracelets in question are the silicone-like charity bracelets that have been popular over the last few years, made most famous by the Lance Armstrong "Live Strong" campaign and their bright yellow bands. You can get them from vending machines or just keep an eye out during your daily travels where they are readily available at checkout counters in support of various charities. Check out the link below to see how one inventive iPhone owner modified his $1 bracelet to uncover the charging port and buttons. Thanks gre9del!
